is stirred to its depths over the sensational
report that one of the fairest female students
at the conservatory of music has been be-
guiled and betrayed by dashing youth
from Harvard. The betrayal has taken
place, however, and the only reason why
Boston ladies do not discuss the subject
oyer their Lenten toast and tea is that the
story has been hushed up and the fair
| name of the girl saved from disgrace by a
hasty marriage. There was stormy scene
in one of the parlors at the Quincy house
yesterday afternoon. Charles 3. 1itcomb,
of Oakland, Cal, is the son of millionaire
and has been studying adontology at the
Harvard dental school since last fall. He
is just 25, and his looks preposSesSing.
Louise Paulin, the welLknown singer who
is now engaged with the Carleton Opera
| company at New York city, is about 45
years OF age and judging from her conduct
here, knows what she is about Edith
Ogilby, the 23-year-old daughter of Madam
Paulin, is a stout and rather pretty blonde,
who has been taking vocal lessons in the
conservatory Of music for some months,
The mother has left her engagements in
New York and hastened to Boston to vindi-
cate the honor Of her daughter, Edith.
They arrived here yesterday forenoon.
The call which young Titcomb made npon
them at the Quincy house was due to
VERY URGENT NOTE
sent to him by Madam Pauin. He came
like Caesar, hoping to see and conquer. He
saw them in private room. At first their
talk was low and subdued. Gradually the
conversation grew louder and more vehe-
ment until the hotel was aroused and the
head-waiter rushed out for policeman.
you shall marry my child" said Madam
Pauln. II don't care II you never live
with her day. l demand that her name
shall be restored"
Il shall do no such thing, replied Tit
comb, land nobody but crafty old woman
would make such a rt4uest. If were a
poor boy you would never think of it. You
think you have got me in trap. but will
go to prison before l will marry her."
While they were stormng two policemen
came in and arrested Titconb and carried
him to station 2, where he was registered
and taken to the tOmbs. Along in the even

companied by Maj. Jones. bail commits

but l ain sorry to says the Offense
charged against Titcomb is not bailable
one."
What is the charge?"
Rape"
The friend was thunderstruck He OBJ
tanned an interview with Titcomb, and one
of BoSton's leading lawyers was sent for
and together they talked the matter over
until nearly n<sAE;g!S ~ three felt that
matters were very serious, and. while they
doubted if the charge could be proved, a
public trial would create great scandal,
which would do great damage to Titcombs
reputation. The story of her run, as told
by Edith Ogilby, is that she became ac-
quainted with the dental student early last
winter. They met several times at parties
and entertainments. Jan. 5 he called at
the house where she boarded with sleigh
and span. and asked her to go out and take
a ride on the mill-dam road. She accom-
panied him. According to her story, they
called at the Brighton house and had
SEVERAL MILK PUNCHES,
which she alleges were drugged for the pur-
pose of accomplishing her ruin. She says
she was unconscious for some hours and ill
in her room for several days after taking
the draughts which were intended to pro.
tect her during the cold ride home. When
she recovered she called on Titcomb and
asked HIM about the affair. He laughed il
off. Between that time and last Sunday
she paid him three visits, but received no
satisfactory explanat 1. Finding that
| HER SHAME
could not be concealed much longer, she
went to New York Tuesday night and told
the whole story to her mother. The result
was that mother and daughter arrived al
the Quincy house yesterday. In spite OF
Titcombs emphatic denial of the druggins
and subsequent events the girl maintained
that her story was true. The closing chap
tiers in the romance happened this morning
Young Titcomb was brought up from the
tombs to the judges lobby just above the
cell he had occupied all night In the room
were Judge Parmenter, Titcombs counsel
Madam Paulin and Edith Ogilby, the two
latter in tears. The case was stated to the
judge.
''Will you marry this girl now?" asked
the judge of Titcomb.
II will.'
A license was at once procured at the
city hall and they were married in the lobby
by Bail Commissioner Jones. Edith Wen
away with her mother and Titcomb re
turned to his studies. Il don't ask him tt
live with her," said Madam Paulin. 81
